#Lebanon: Armed clashes in #Beirut today during a protest against the judge investigating last year’s port explosion. Hezbollah and Amal militants in open gun battles after being shot at from rooftops by currently unknown gunmen. Several people killed.
Several RPGs have been fired in #Beirut.
Extremely tense situation in #Beirut. Details are confusing right now. It seems no one as of yet knows who opened fire on the protest. Return fire all over the place.
Urban battles in #Beirut. Very close quarters. Stray or ricocheting bullets in environments like this are rife. Be careful if you're out there.
Hundreds of armed Hezbollah and Amal fighters moving through #Beirut.
Six people killed so far in #Beirut armed clashes today. apnews.com/article/hezbol…
Military vehicles on the streets of #Beirut. The clashes are over for now.
Heartbreaking. A mother of five was shot dead yesterday on her balcony amidst the armed clashes in #Beirut.

RIP Mariam

Nine years today since the beginning of the revolution in #Rojava, which fought back ISIS and introduced a new form of radical democracy and gender equality in a very volatile place.

Here's some of my favourite photos I took when I was last out there. ImageImageImageImage
Originally led by Kurdish forces, the Rojava revolution includes Arabs, Syriacs, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Armenians, Turkmen, and Western volunteers. ImageImageImage
Whilst often inaccurately (and knowingly) refereed to as a Marxist/Leninist enclave in the media, in reality Rojava is trying to implement a system that resembles more closely a sort of left-wing libertarianism. They call it Democratic Confederalism. ImageImageImage

#Ukraine: Russian-backed separatist of the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) have announced military conscription for citizens born 1994 - 2003. This comes at a time of drastically increased fighting on the frontlines in the Donbas. Not looking good.
In response, Biden has reaffirmed his "unwavering support" for #Ukraine. This is becoming very precarious again.
Artillery incoming and outgoing. Clashes have been ramping up all night.

Pay attention to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill—it is an attempt by the government to push Britain deeper into authoritarianism. It will restrict free protests in a way Russia and Turkey does. This is a vicious attack on freedom in the UK.

gov.uk/government/pub…
“It will become a crime to fail to follow restrictions the protesters ‘ought’ to have known about, even if they have not received a direct order from an officer.”

Under this bill you could get up to 10 years in prison for toppling a statute. Bare in mind the average jail time for a pedophile in Britain is less than 5 years. Image
